Question

So they parted; and the young man pursued his way until, being about to turn the corner by the meeting-house, he looked back and saw the head of Faith still peeping after him with a melancholy air, in spite of her pink ribbons.

"Poor little Faith!" thought he, for his heart smote him. "What a wretch am I to leave her on such an errand! She talks of dreams, too. I thought as she spoke there was trouble in her face, as if a dream had warned her what work is to be done to-night. But no, no; 't would kill her to think it. Well, she's a blessed angel on earth; and after this one night I'll cling to her skirts and follow her to heaven."

Which point of view is used in this excerpt?
am a little confused i am usually really good in literature but this one i am confused in help please is it first person?

Answer 1

Based on the given excerpt above, the answer is not first person, but rather, the point of view used is in the THIRD PERSON. When the point of view is in the third person, the narrator uses pronouns such as he, she, it and they. First person uses the pronouns I, we and us. And second person point of view uses the pronouns you and yours. Hope this answer helps.
